	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1041, Strickland.  Ronald Reagan Presidential Library:  special
interest license plates.
   Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue
special interest license plates, as specified, to any person, to be
displayed in lieu of regular license plates.
   This bill would add a Ronald Reagan Presidential Library special
interest license plate to the special interest license plate program.
  The bill would require the additional funds collected by the
issuance of those special interest license plates to be deposited
into the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Account, created by the
bill, in the General Fund to be used by the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Foundation, upon appropriation, to fund the Ronald
Reagan Presidential Library.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 5073 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:

Presidential Foundation, shall design and make available for issuance
pursuant to Section 5060 Ronald Reagan Presidential Library special

plate.  Any person described in Section 5101, upon payment of the
additional fee or fees set forth in subdivision (b), may apply for
and be issued a set of these special interest license plates.
   (b) In addition to the regular fees for an original registration,
renewal of registration, or transfer or substitution of the license

renewal, retention, or transfer of the special interest license
plates authorized pursuant to this section:
   (1) For the original issuance of the plates, fifty dollars ($50).

   (2) For a renewal of registration of the plates, or the retention
of the plates if renewal is not required, forty dollars ($40).
   (3) For transfer of the plates to another vehicle, fifteen dollars
($15).
   (4) For each substitute replacement plate, thirty-five dollars
($35).
   (5) In addition, for the issuance of an environmental license
plate, as defined in Section 5103, the additional fees prescribed in
Sections 5106 and 5108, which shall be deposited in the Environmental
License Plate Fund.
   (c) Except as provided in paragraph (5) of subdivision (b), all
fees collected under this section shall, after deduction of the
department's costs in administering this section, be deposited  into
the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Account, which is hereby
created in the General Fund.  The funds in the account shall be used
